"Don't lose with laughter
what was won with tears."

"i'm going to my trailer?"

The first cell phone TV spot. Sometimes I kind of wish cell phones were a luxury again...

Don't You?

Ridiculously long lasting gum!

 

I never thought i'd see the day when Roy Williams, Coach K, Rick Pitino, and Bobby Knight would be caught with their pants down, all at the same time.   Talk less of with a bunch of leather clad rocker dudes standing in the same room chastising them. Wow!

and another one....

Man, how fun would it be to be there during this!

The video, from Atlanta agency Fitzgerald & Company, is strictly online for now—but it might find its way onto television, but only in Europe.

So today I found out about the Whopper Sacrifice. A brilliant viral marketing campaign on Facebook.com. Adding an application allows you to sacrifice (remove) 10 friends for a Whopper! I had to do it just to see what this campaign had. Once you select a friend to 'sacrifice', you watch their profile photo burn to ashes. While burning, these following words appear below:

"You liked your friend.
You love the Whopper."



The funny thing is that when you sacrifice a friend, they get a notification that says, "George likes you, but loves the WHOPPER. George sacrificed you for a free burger at WHOPPER Sacrifice."



Once you nix 10 unfortunate souls, you go to a page, fill out your info and await your WHOPPER in the mail - or hopefully just a coupon. From the confirmation page, there is a link to a great documentary-style WHOPPER Virgins ad, which you can watch below:
